The lsslot -cpci
command now correctly reports PCI slot types
Prior to this update, the
lsslot -cpci
command reported PCI slot types as <literal>Unknown slot type</literal>. With this update, the bug has been fixed, and lsslot
utility reports PCI slot types correctly. (BZ#1592429)
The drmgr -C
command now loads the rpadlpar_io
kernel module
Previously, the
drmgr -C
command did not select hotplug types. As a consequence, the rpadlpar_io
kernel module was loaded only when one of the following hotplug types was explicitly selected: pci
, phb
or slot
. With this update, the underlying source code has been fixed, and the command drmgr -C
now loads rpadlpar_io
. (BZ#1540067)
Diagnostic utilities now display CPU frequency values correctly
Due to a delay in the CPU cycle counter, diagnostic utilites, such as
lscpu
, in some cases reported an incorrect CPU frequency value. With this update, the affected utilities display correct values and report an error if the accurate value currently cannot be detected. (BZ#1596121)
The ppc64_cpu
utility no longer fails when reading CPU frequency
Previously, the
ppc64_cpu
utility failed when reading CPU frequency. With this update, a thread is created for each of the CPUs if the number of CPUs in the system is less than CPU_SETSIZE, or only CPU_SETSIZE threads are created. As a result, the described problem no longer occurs, and ppc64_cpu
no longer fails. (BZ#1628907)
